Have we tried Hobgoblin? Oh yes! Aelfy on here used to drink loads! Much darker and more flavoursome than Speckled Hen.I enjoy it often. Seems fairly common on the Handpump in the Scunthorpe area which aint to far from you.
If you want a decent bottled beer offer, Morrisons have 3 boxes of Spitfire or Pedigree for Â£20 at the mo. Both of them are ok.
